Okay, for all of you who might run into this problem some time..:
I mailed NCR/Symbios (the controllercard i have) support and got this
very helpful answer:
Hello Joel,
What you need to do depends upon what operating system that you are
trying
to install. If you are installing Windows NT it should boot directly
from
the CD-ROM to install to your hard drive as long as you have your
system
bios set to allow booting from the CD-ROM or SCSI controller.
If you are trying to install Windows 95 or 98 you must first create
a DOS
(FAT) partition using fdisk and format it as a bootable DOS
partition.
The
maximum size of a FAT-16 partition is 2 GB (recommended for Win 95)
and for
FAT-32 (for Win 98) the limit is much much higher.
Once you have a bootable DOS partition use the LSI Logic ASPI (DOS)
driver
installation utility to install the DOS drivers for your SCSI card.
The DOS
driver installation file may be downloaded from the following LSI
Logic web
page:
http://www.lsilogic.com/techsupp/support+drivers/dos.html. The
file
you need is DOS.ZIP or DOS.EXE. Both are in compressed Zip format.
When installing the DOS drivers using the installation utility
answer
"Yes" or just the defaults to all questions. The drivers that you
need are
ASPI8xx.sys and SYMCD.sys. SYMDISK.sys is for removable drives such
as Zip
or Jaz drives. Once the drivers are installed and you reboot your
system
you hsould be able to install Win 95 or Win 98 from the CD.
One caution. As the SCSI controller is likely built onto the
motherboard.
Check with ASUS before starting any of these procedures. ASUS may
have a
differrent procedure as they are responsible for the way they
implemented
the LSI Logic SCSI controller on their motherboard.
